Topic: New Lenses Coming [CR3] (Read 30090 times)

I'm actually fine with a pancake on a DSLR. I think it will make travel even easier. If the 40mm f2.8 Pancake from Canon is cheap I'd be interested in it. I don't generally enjoy taking my DSLR on trips but I think this would help.

Of course as I'm typing this I'm wondering how much small it is than the 50 f1.4...

My 24-70 and 70-200 are a joy to use....so much so that I've really struggled lately with the compacts I've tried - not liking the feel and response. A pancake lens would give my 5d2 an additional P&S capability and fit in my jacket! For this reason I'm excited about an EF pancake with AF.

Right, my whole point about mentioning a new 50mm 1.4 at a decent price is that just about every enthusiast who owns a Canon would get one sooner or later. At around the $500 mark, even the less enthusiastic might save up money and get one, it could be a huge seller.

I own a 50mm f/1.4, but my impression is the 50mm f/1.8 is far more people than the f/1.4 among enthusiasts.
